25 Plays Per Hour

meg lin · June 22, 2022 certified reviewer
It was so much fun to watch each micro play within the larger goal of "beating the clock" that I found myself invested in wanting to make sure that they didn't run out of time! I was also impressed that they took their time with some of the plays so that it wasn't a series of overly rushed performances.... full review

I loved how this show has pre-teens and teens as its stars. What an amazing experience for these young performers to have performed as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. This is definitely a fun and heart warming show for the entire family. The casting was spot on and the songs were both beautifully written and performed.... full review

Dickin' Around

Michael masterfully demonstrates what physical comedy is all about while weaving it into a deeply personal and heart warming story about finding love and finding himself. Don't let the poster fool you into thinking that this is just a tongue-in-cheek show since it has a profoundly beautiful message.... full review

Something In The Air

It made my heart smile to see an all Asian/Asian American cast and kudos that this was a CalArts student production! As an Asian American, it was powerful to see performers who looked like me. I could relate to the various characters and their back stories, including finding their identities in the world as well as the joys and challenges of having immigrant parents. ... full review

This was such a refreshing and tender-hearted show to help release any tension and anxiety in our lives, and it gives hope for what humanity and friendships could be. It's such a clever story with likeable characters and to have the "men" played by women was so much fun to watch. ... full review

I felt like a kid again and it was so much fun even before the show started as many of us chomped down on the most delicious s'mores that helped get us into the mood for CAAAAMMMPPP!!! I loved the infusion of good 'ole campfire storytelling, improv, and audience participation that reminded me of a cross of Who's Line Is It Anyway? and game night with friends.... full review

Pain In My Asperger's

Jeremy was funny, vulnerable, and all around talented as he wittingly infused singing and playing his keyboard while sharing his endearing life story. As a former teacher, I think all teachers and students should watch Jeremy's show to better understand both the joys and challenges of neurodiversity.... full review

This Remains Between Us

I highly recommend watching this show without reading anything about it in advance. I heard the buzz about this show and showed up without any expectations, and I'm so glad that I did because I was delightfully surprised by the story and characters. It's rare to be surprised by storylines these days, so kudos to the playwrights for their creative plot, memorable characters, and witty dialogue.... full review

Battlesong of Boudica

I loved the live combat and sword fighting. In a world where we’ve become so used to digital special effects, it was refreshing to watch fight sequences and hand-to-hand combat up close and in person. Plus, the storyline was entertaining too.... full review
